A few thoughts on getting the CEO’s compensation approved by the Board of Directors: It’s usually required in the Investor Rights Agreement or similar VC docs that the CEO’s salary be approved by the board. It’s what everyone used to do, and what your governance and financing docs probably require anyway. At least do it as a CYA.

If legal docs have gone out, assume the odds are 85%-95%. If the legal docs have been reviewed and come back with comments, assume the odds are 95%. If a VC sends you a signed term sheet, but the terms aren’t 100% agreed, assume the odds are 25%-50%. So the more steps you get toward a close, the higher the odds a VC deal closes.
